Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 can be a pretty challenging game, even excluding its ultra-punishing Honor Mode. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped some players from devising ways to make the game even harder. From speedruns that aim to complete the game or reach specific scenes as quickly as possible to self-imposed challenges, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community has been finding creative ways to keep the gameplay interesting while pushing Larian Studios\u2019 work to its limits. Now, one player has presented a new way for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players to challenge themselves after proving that, yes, you can beat the game at level 1. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player uses Charisma, barrels &#038; lots of stealth to beat game at level 1 YouTuber Fracture shared their accomplishment in a two-hour-long video breaking down how they beat the game without ever leveling up any party members. As Fracture explains early on, \u201cI\u2019m not planning on trying to just skip past all the content to technically beat the game. I want to actually play and beat the game.\u201d To take on this challenge, Fracture chose to play as a Githyanki Wizard with high Charisma to help talk their way out of situations. While that does help throughout the run, it does mean pretty low HP, with Fracture noting \u201cI barely have enough health to survive a slip and fall in grease.\u201d Much of the run relies on using Charisma or Stealth to avoid combat and using Minor Illusion, explosives, and high ground to defeat unavoidable foes. Fracture also makes sure to pick up helpful equipment, such as the Warped Headband of Intellect to boost their Wizard\u2019s Intelligence from 8 to 17. While certainly more difficult than the average level 1-12 playthrough, Fracture did say the challenge was somewhat liberating. As they say, \u201cThis challenge gave me the freedom to do whatever I wanted,\u201d such as relying on stealth without worrying about missing out on experience points. Ultimately, Fracture is able to make it through the game and defeat the final boss \u2013 with a method that needs to be seen to be believed \u2013 proving that, yes, it is possible to beat Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 without ever leveling up.
